Hey all, I passed Square (Cash App) SE L5 interviews, and am awaiting to hear back with the offer numbers. In order to better be able to negotiate, does anybody know what the L5 TC band at Square is with regards to salary/equity/sign-on bonus? How much room is there for negotiation? I did exceptionally well in the interviews and will likely have a competing LinkedIn Staff SWE offer soon as leverage. I am based in NYC. Current TC: 330k YOE: 5
L5 usually around your current TX maybe a bit higher
What company are you in now?
Coinbase
Then why you leave
Congrats. Did you have a leadership round? Interesting that you are L5 but have staff at LI.
Staff at LI is senior elsewhere. Had no leadership round.
Ah didn't realize that.
Square can absolutely beat 330 @ L5. Push for at least 350.
What's linkedin offer
@OP how long did it take for them to tell you that you passed? And do you know how long it takes for them to give you the numbers after that?
Update?

Congrats!

Why is our country owned by Israel? I don't want my tax dollars fund genocide. How can we stop this nonsense?
Congrats! I have an interview coming up. How were the interviews? We're they more oop/practical or leetcode like?
Most questions were a healthy mix of the two. A bit more practical than Leetcode.
